Tyrone Club Football and Hurling

[RedHand88]

Down and Fermanagh both had packages of £25 for all three finals (Fermanagh £40 for all games across junior, intermediate and senior). While in Tyrone, for finals alone we have had to pay £17, £18 and £19 totalling £54. Genuinely a disgrace, the county board should have a very hard look at themselves. Every individual involved in Tyrone Tv should hang their heads in shame.

Lol the Down and Fermanagh championships are utter dung. Tyrone is a bargain by comparison, despite being more expensive.

[Easttyrone23]

Personally think £19 is too much for a club final stream. If headquarters adopted the Tyrone business model then it would be €101 just to watch the All Ireland Final on your TV.

Hopefully Jarlath Burns can actually do something about this greed.

I personally think £5 for a pint of Guinness in the local is too much but for some reason it doesn't stop me from buying it. As expensive as £19 for the championship final is it also won't stop me from buying it. We all love to complain about prices but at least In this instance the money is going towards our county team rather than some man's pocket.

No one is forcing anyone to buy the stream. If you want to watch it you'll either go to it, head to the pub or end up buying it regardless of the price. County board know they have everyone's balls in a vice.

Streaming is god send for frequent flyers and our diaspora.

Are clubs are OK to broadcast for the same fee? Then it's also a good way of encouraging people to socialise there and put a few pound in local coffers.

Fair points being made on season pass, maybe contingent on having a paid up club membership? Difficult to implement perhaps.

Head to the local and watch it with 3 pints of Guinness and still haven enough for the taxi home 👍

Lough to win it by the minimum, the pressure of everything is on trillick to do it and I think that pressure will get to them.

Loughs first final and nothing to lose will help them more than hinder them.

New name on the Oneill cup by 6 oclock this evening!

A man telling me it's listed on his dodgy stick for viewing !

Have people never heard of the term 'supply and demand'? Would a ticket to a Man Utd game would be the same price as a ticket to a Salford game?

Since 2000 only 2 counties have received less funding from the gaa than Tyrone despite the fact that Tyrone are not only among one of the counties with the highest number of members and players, but during that time won more all Ireland titles in total at minor, u20/21 and senior than any other county.  So Tyrone have had to rely on raising their own funding in order to build the facilities in Garvaghy and funding towards their successful youth development. With the large purchase of streams all over Ireland for their club championship, and with the disadvantage of little funding from the gaa, the club championship has give Tyrone an opportunity to raise funds. 

Surely If any other county were able to sell 10k tickets and 20-30k streams at £19 for their club final would they honestly prefer their county board to lower the price, so that it would save people a few quid even though their county would lose out on thousands?

If it was £16 people would yap.

If it was £13 people would yap.

If it was £10 people would yap about having to pay to watch an amateur sport where the players aren't paid.

You are 100% correct. It cost £50 for a ticket to watch Ireland vs Armenia were probably none of the profits went towards grassroots soccer yet so called gaa people lose the plot over having to pay a fraction of that to watch a high quality GAA game were all the profits literally go towards the sport.

In Tyrone we've seen the funding that's went towards the youth development squads and the facilities in garvaghey resulting with us winning 5 all Ireland titles in senior, u20 and minor in the last 4 years yet there's so called Tyrone fans on this forum going mad at having to pay a few extra pound going towards it.

I guarantee it's the same people who couldn't understand why they couldn't get a ticket when Tyrone were in the all Ireland final just because they wouldn't pay their club membership.

[Easttyrone23]

The idea of 20-30k streams is just laughable .

It sounds a lot but Tyrone would apparently sell at Least twice as many streams than tickets for a championship game, plus taking into account it's a final there would be many accross the island and those who emigrating to Australia/USA etc that would purchase it. If their estimating around 10k to attend the game I don't think 20-30k streams would be that far fetched.

A highly prolific Loughmacrory figure has just been seen giving sparky Loughran a brown envelope.

Seemed to have a big smile on his face when receiving it.

Loughmacrory and the ref, name a more iconic duo... I'll wait.

Apparently.
Any actual facts there ?

Just pure and utter pie in the Tyrone sky stuff

Oh and it's on the fire sticks as well

[tyroneStatto]

Anyone else's stream buffering like mad?

[tyroneStatto]

Trillick looked very sluggish in the first half.

[tyroneStatto]

How long has this half-time been?

[seafoid]

What's the score?
